2016 Whole Cluster Carbonic Grenache
Angela Osborne x Folded Hills Library Wine
Our first-ever vintage of the Cluster Carbonic, the 2016 Cluster Carbonic Grenache, was grown on the breathtaking hillside of our Folded Hils estate. Grower Ruben Solorzano's careful farming of the hillside vineyard provided a harvest of healthy fruit perfectly set on their clusters.
Winemaker Angela Osborne chose to respect this work by fermenting our Cluster Grenache using perfectly intact grape clusters. The approach is called whole cluster or carbonic fermentation, thus the name of the wine. The effect is zesty freshness and a wonderfully energetic palate, a wine full of presence while remaining relatively light-bodied. This is a fun and festive wine, perfect for any festivity.
A vibrant bouquet of cranberry and cherry cola with subtle notes of anise and allspice, adding depth and complexity. It's the perfect balance of fruit and spice.
